A/N: Hey! What's up with everyone? I'm just hanging out, and waiting to leave for dinner with my best friend. So I figured I'd be nice and update. :) But I must say, I was really disappointed with the initial response to last chapter. I came home from school to find only three reviews. That made me really sad. So please, review guys. Even just the shortest ones help. It's what keeps me going, and able to write. Thanks.

Darkflower2113: Yay! I'm so glad that last chapter made you laugh at loud. That's what I was aiming for. So I'm glad I actually succeeded. Lol. And I'm also glad you thought it was the best chapter yet, cause so did I. Lol. I hope you like how the upcoming chapters go!

Miss Hogwarts: I'm glad! :)

The Flying Moose: Haha too true.

Future Mrs. Radcliffe: Just your review made me happy and smiley! Lol. Fantasmic is another excellent word. Here's mine...Scrumptrelescent. Maha so it's not really mine, I stole it from Saturday night live. But it's my favorite weird word. Lol.

Love Dwarf: Yay! Here's the update!

Blink gulr017: I'm glad you found last chapter amusing! Haha crystal ball of wisdom. That's awesome. I have a magic lucky penny. It's pretty damn cool. I found it on the road one day, and was like "LOOK I FOUND A PENNY! IT'S MAGIC." Lol. Haha the chainsaw thing reminds me of when my friends and I tell each other that we're going to go Texas chainsaw on each other's asses if one of us won't shut up. Lol. Definitely had to recite a poem in French on Friday. We had to memorize it, and I was a little shaky, so I was like uh doi. Lol.

loopdeedoo: Thank you!

Loves to Read: Haha I know. I am all for the dramatics. I don't like to bring them together right away. But you're right, it is an H/G fic, so think of that and be happy. Lol. Ginny unfortunately is going to be a bit of a grouch for a while. That's not how I view her so it's not how she will be forever. But her and Harry aren't going to get along perfectly smoothly, they will have funny little quarrels and things like that. I hope you like!

Granger's Twin: Oh my gosh, your review made me laugh so much! I love chocolate! Anything that involves chocolate I will eat. I love being hyper off it. But then again I like being weird and hyper in general. Lol. The irrelevant part was my favorite part of last chapter to write. Ahahaha that would be the funniest thing ever. To see them running down a beach arms outstretched. Harry would be like, Ginny darling how could I have ever walked out. Lol.

JediPirateElfyDude: Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! And I hope you will come to like it just as much as I Saw Sparks! :)

Harry stood up, and walked by Ginny. He reached the front door and pulled it open, never looking back.

Chapter Eight: Crashing Into A New Start

A tear fell down Ginny's cheek. Her red hair was piled messily atop her head, and her silk nightgown clung to her shivering body. Harry had left. When Ginny had yelled for him to get out, she hadn't though he really would. But he had, and now she was left standing right where he had left her. The front door was slightly ajar, and Ginny walked over and shut it quietly. The silence was deafening, every small noise made her jump.

How could I have done that?

Because you're stupid.

Shut up! I am not in the mood right now.

Yes, I know.

I didn't think he would actually go. I didn't want him to go.

Then why were you so cruel to him?

I don't know. I can't help it.

Well try.

I can't.

Yes you can.

No, you don't understand. I can't do it. Something inside me hurts everytime I look at him.

I know

Suddenly Ginny stopped crying. An intense need to find Harry overtook her body. Barely realizing what she was doing, Ginny raced out the front door and into her car. She pulled out hurriedly, and began to drive down the street. After driving for what seemed like eternity, she caught sight of a man with messy black hair walking down the road. Slowing to a crawl, she trailed along until she was next to him. He looked over at her with an unreadable expression, and then turned away. Ginny felt herself choke back a sob. No, she wouldn't give up that easily.

"You know, I heard that a bitchy red head is looking for an extremely patient raven haired man." She said softly, but loud enough for Harry to hear.

"Is that right?" Harry asked in reply.

"Yes. She's very sorry, and wants him to come back."

"What if he doesn't want to?"

"Oh." Ginny said shakily.

"But I suppose this raven haired man, as you put it, might want to go back."

"Really?" Ginny asked, brightening.

"Sure." Harry replied with a smile.

"Ok well then, get in the car."

"Not quite yet." He said with a mischievous grin.

"Yes please, now."

"Nah."

"Harry, get in the car."

"Nope."

"HARRY JAMES POTTER GET IN THE DAMN CAR!" Ginny shrieked.

Harry burst into a fit of laughter, and Ginny glared. Control your temper Ginny, she thought to herself. Still chuckling, Harry climbed into the car. He cast a sideways glance at her, and then smiled widely.

"So you missed me already did you?" Harry asked with a grin on his face.

"Oh shut it. I did not miss you. I just didn't want you walking on the streets all alone."

"Well damn. Here I was thinking you actually wanted me to go back to your apartment."

"I did."

"You just said you didn't."

"Well I changed my mind."

"You're a little flighty aren't you?"

"Shut your mouth Potter."

"Oh so we're on a last name basis now?"

"You are so frustrating!" Ginny said with a groan.

"I know." Harry replied with a mischievous smile.

Ginny swatted Harry on the back on the head, and he stopped talking. All was quiet for the rest of the drive. Ginny sat thinking about how odd the situation was. Here was the boy, well man, that she had parted ways with all those years ago. He was sitting right beside her. In her wildest dreams, she never could have expected this. It was strangely comforting to see his familiar messy black hair and piercing green eyes again. She realized that she had missed them. She had missed him. But she also knew that she couldn't let herself love him again. Ginny wouldn't let herself do that. It would only end badly. She would not let herself fall for him again. Anything in her power that she could do to stop that, she would do.

Yet she couldn't keep herself from thinking of how it had been. How everything had been perfect five years ago. That seemed like a lifetime ago to her now. She was a different person then she once was. Ginny wasn't so sure whether the change had been good or bad. She knew that Ash had made her a better person. But now with her gone, Ginny didn't like the person she had become. No more was she confident, strong, and extroverted. She had become a shell of her former self. She smiled faintly from time to time, but never was her heart in it. She laughed softly in the quiet of the night, but it was never truly real. Everything felt artificial to her now. Every move she made, every word she spoke. They were all carefully planned. Ginny felt as if she had nothing important to talk about anymore. The most important person in her life was gone.

But now, the person that had been so precious to her all those years ago was back. It almost didn't seem real. Out of all the cities, all the small towns, he chose this one. This quaint little beach town. Ginny's heart leapt for a moment, and she almost felt a twinge of contentment. But then it disappeared, and was gone as quickly as it had come. An unbearable sadness suddenly swept over Ginny. An unwanted tear rolled down her cheek, but she didn't brush it away. A smooth finger reached over and wiped away the lone tear. Ginny turned and looked at Harry for a moment. The sunlight was reflecting off his glasses, and causing an almost heavenly glow about him. For a moment Ginny was blinded. But she quickly regained her control, and turned away.

She heard Harry sigh, and when she glanced at him, she saw that he was now looking out the window. He was watching the world go by right before his eyes. Ginny often did that herself. She would gaze out the window while she was in the passenger seat of a car, and just take everything in. The silence that before had been so comfortable suddenly became almost suffocating. Ginny desperately wanted to say something to Harry, something to make him feel like she wanted him there. But when she tried, she couldn't. Not a word could escape her lips. Frustrated, Ginny hit her hand on the steering wheel. Harry turned his head towards her with a confused look on his face. For a moment they just stared at each other. But Ginny wasn't watching the road. Before she could do anything to stop it, the car swerved off the street.

"Ginny. Ginny! Wake up!" someone was calling.

The voice drifted in and out, at fading volumes. A roaring sound was rushing in her ears. Needles of pain were stabbing every part of her body. Slowly, eyelids fluttered open. Everything was blurry and out of focus. Images swam in front of Ginny's eyes. After a few moments, the world began to regain its clarity. A pair of perfect green eyes were staring into hers. A clammy hand was clutching her wrist. Stirring slightly, she heard him whisper to her.

"No don't move Gin. Stay still." He pleaded.

She gave up trying to shift, and resigned herself to the fact that for the moment, she was immobile. She was still confused as to how she came to be lying on the hard asphalt of the road. Ginny closed her eyes, suddenly tired. She felt Harry grip her wrist even tighter.

"No Ginny. You can't fall asleep. You might have a concussion. Please stay awake." Harry begged.

She slowly nodded her head, trying to get him to understand that she would try. Ginny parted her lips, trying to speak. Nothing came out but a sharp breath. A look of concern was plastered on Harry's face, and it hadn't faded since she'd been conscience. Then something else flashed into his eyes. Something she didn't recognize. But the second it had come, it left. Harry's hand stroked her face gently. Ginny tried to speak again, and this time she was successful.

"W-w-what happened?" Ginny managed to sputter out.

"We weren't paying attention to the road, and the car swerved off and hit a tree." Harry said shakily.

"Oh." Ginny said with a tear falling down her cheek.

"You flew through the windshield. I, I don't know how" Harry trailed off.

"How I lived." she croaked out.

Harry nodded slowly, and Ginny thought she saw tears shining in his eyes. Ginny tightened the grip on his hand, and Harry looked at her for a moment. He stroked her face again, and Ginny closed her eyes.

A/N: So there's chapter eight! Hope everyone enjoyed it. Yes I am a dramatic girl, so this story will be dramatic. But there will be funny parts to break up the sad ones. Or at least I hope you think they're funny. Lol.

BE THE AWESOME PEOPLE I KNOW YOU ARE, AND REVIEW!
